CLANDESTINE AFFAIR
Short Fiction
– A Love Story
By
VIKRAM KARVE
Ever since
the day Tanya met her handsome neighbour, she felt so attracted to him that she
desperately wanted to have an affair with him.
Tanya was
sure that he too had a similar clandestine yearning for her.
As days
passed the mutual infatuation became stronger and stronger and turned into a
passionate yearning, growing day by day into an uncontrollable craving, such a
throbbing lust, that one day Tanya could bear it no longer so she audaciously blurted
out her amorous desire to him while they were going down in the lift on their
way to work in the morning.
“Okay,” he
said, “Lunch Time. Meet me at the pizza joint opposite your office at 12:30.”
He was
waiting for her and soon they were sitting in his car in the parking lot.
“Where?” Tanya
asked.
“My old
flat,” he said, “it’s nearby, and absolutely safe.”
He stopped
opposite the building, pointed at the door of a flat facing the road and said,
“There it is. Flat 101. On the ground floor. Here, take this latch key, cover
your face, quickly go there, open the door, go in and wait for me. We shouldn’t
go in together. I’ll park the car and come in a minute. I’ll give three short
rings of the doorbell.”
Tanya covered
her face with her dupatta, got out of
the car and quickly walked to the door of the flat.
She inserted
the key into the latch and turned it – the door opened easily.
The
astounding scene that Tanya saw shocked her so much, that she stood dumbfounded
and dazed, totally stunned into a state of disbelief.
There was a
woman. She was lying naked on the sofa. Garments of her dress were scattered
all over the floor. And there was a man, half-clothed, his head buried in the woman’s hair, his arms around her, and they were in the throes of passion, in flagrante delicto
The man was
Tanya’s husband and the woman was Tanya’s neighbour’s wife.
